Child Labour
Does Child Labour Still Exist Today?

Child labour is defined as work that deprives children of their


childhood their potential and their dignity and that is harmful
to physical and mental development. Various causes of child
labour like the curse of poverty, lack of educational resources,
social and economic backwardness, addiction, disease or
disability.

“Child labour still exist and it should be controlled. It can


be controlled by providing access to education, providing
support for education, improving economic growth etc.”

Child labour can result in extremely bodily and mental harm and
even death. And in nearly every case it cuts children off from
schooling and health care, restricting their fundamental rights
and threatening their future. There are numerous causes
underlying child labour. Not surprisingly, poverty is the single
greatest reason for children becoming victims of child labour.
Children forced into labour at very young ages are most likely
to face barriers that keep them out of school so they lack basic
literacy and math skills. Trying to combine school attendance
with excessively long and heavy work is impossible. Cultural and
economic pressures sometimes run so deeply in communities
that children are simply used as income sources. Child labour
has to be stopped so that every child can have the opportunity
to go to school, to play and to have the best future possible. If
children are working, they cannot go to school! This means that
these children will grow up to be adults without any education
and not being able to read or write, which means they lack
important life skills.

Parents do not always know what big negative consequences it


has when they allow or even force children to work. They only
look at the short term and let the child work because they need
the money for food, clothes or housing. You can educate them
that in the long term it is better that the child is educated, so
they can have a better job. The worst forms of child labour
include Slavery or similar practices, Child trafficking, Forced
recruitment into armed conflict, Sexual exploitation, Drug
production and trafficking or other illegal acts, Debt bondage,
Hazardous work that can cause injury or moral corruption. This
evidence cannot be interpreted causally; as before, countries
differ in many aspects that may be associated with child labour
choices and income. But there are a number of reasons why,
conceptually, child labour might be indeed caused by poor living
conditions. For example, children might only work if the parents
are unable to meet subsistence conditions; or it could be the
case that parents allocate more of the children’s time to
schooling as they afford the necessary inputs for schooling
,text-books, uniforms, etc. Family poverty and poor schools are
two major reasons children in low-income countries are in the
labour force. We can help them by investing in a child’s life, you
can help them stay in school. You can also help to build up their
community so that there’ll be more job opportunities for them
to pursue as adults. Abolishing or reducing school costs, which
may be unaffordable for some and include school-feeding
facilities.

Whether or not particular forms of work can be called child


labour depends on the child's age, the type and hours of work
performed, the conditions under which it is performed and the
objectives pursued by individual countries. The answer varies
from country to country, as well as among sectors within
countries. Different circumstances may force parents to send
their children to factories or fields rather than school. Families
that face financial uncertainties or challenges may feel they
have no other choice. Poverty, illnesses, and job losses are the
most common causes of child labour. Other causes include the
lack of access to good education, decent work, and a limited
understanding of child labour. In today's world, conflicts, mass
migration, natural disasters and climate change have increased
the number of children that carry out forced work.

In Conclusion, Child labour has to be stopped so that every


child can have the opportunity to go to school, to play and to
have the best future possible. If children are working, they
cannot go to school! This means that these children will grow up
to be adults without any education and not being able to read
or write, which means they lack important life skills. Children
of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend
regular school, and is mentally, physically, socially and morally
harmful. These children often work in horrible and dangerous
conditions. Their rights are violated daily. In some cases, there
is even sexual exploitation involved and this also violates the
dignity and morals of a child. It is also possible that they are
separated from their parents, because they have to work in a
different place from where their parents live. Sometimes
children are forced to work without food and very low wages
which is almost the same as slavery. These children are often
also victims of physical, mental, and sexual violence.
